Hypoplastic left heart syndrome with prenatally diagnosed foramen ovale restriction: diagnosis, management and outcome

Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2020
Objective Despite advances in prenatal diagnosis and postnatal intervention/surgery methods, patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and coexisting foramen oval restriction still achieve high mortality rates.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2004
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a frequent remnant of embryological development with clinical importance in thromboembolism, paradoxical embolism, stroke, platypnea-orthodeoxia, decompression sickness, and migraine headache. The proposed mechanisms of stroke with PFO include paradoxical embolization, in situ thrombosis within the canal of the PFO ...

The persistent foramen ovale and migraine

Revue Neurologique, 2005
There is association between migraine, particularly migraine with aura, and large persistent foramen ovale (PFO) and other right-to-left shunts. Migraine is often improved by closure of a PFO in patients who have a large shunt. Inheritance of migraine is linked to the inheritance of large atrial shunts in some families.

Patent foramen ovale and migraine

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2007
Results from several observational studies indicate an association between migraine and patent foramen ovale (PFO). Several biological mechanisms have been proposed to explain this link, including shared genetic inheritance. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to support a causal link between PFO and migraine.

Premature Closure of Foramen Ovale

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1963
Premature closure of the foramen ovale is a rare cause of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Although a number of cases have been reported, early case reports often confused probe patency and premature closure. Several previous reports described edematous infants dying in cardiac failure and ascribed these findings to a normal septum secundum which ...

Primary restrictive foramen ovale

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
A newborn infant with primary restrictive foramen ovale, tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch, and some other developmental defects is described. This combination resulted in fetal hydrops, as was shown by ultrasonography. The child died 24 h after birth due to low output syndrome and extensive bronchopneumonia.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Hypoxemia

Cardiology Clinics
Although the most common clinical manifestations of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) are cryptogenic stroke and migraine with aura, PFO is also associated with platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypoxemia out of proportion to the extent of pulmonary disease.

Patent foramen ovale and diving

Cardiology Clinics, 2005
Patency of the foramen ovale is a risk factor for DCS in SCUBA divers, even if they adhere to the currently accepted and used decompression tables. The primary cause of DCS, however, is the nitrogen bubble, not the PFO. There are a number of techniques any diver can use to minimize the occurrence of nitrogen bubbles after a dive.

Migraine and Patent Foramen Ovale

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2014
Migraine is a widespread disorder with a large impact on society. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common occurrence, affecting about 25 % of the population. Observational studies report PFO to be more prevalent in patients with migraine with aura, and patients with migraine with aura have a higher incidence of PFO.

Treatment of patent foramen ovale

EuroIntervention
After extensive debate, the percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been established as a first-line treatment for the secondary prevention of PFO-related stroke in patients between 18 and 60 years old, whereas the role of PFO closure for primary prevention remains controversial.
